Pic related. One of Danny Boyle's greats IMO.

Doesn't have to be exclusive to movies either.

One of the main talking points in the upcoming UK general election is whether Trident (a military programme that encapsulates the development of the UK's nuclear arsenal) should be renewed or scrapped. The far left parties such as SNP, Plaid and the Greens would cream their pants if they saw it scrapped, whereas the three main political parties (Labour, Conservatives and the Lib Dems) are either renewing or increasing spending, and UKIP of all parties, would see a cutback in the amount of submarines deployed. I currently have mixed opinions.

My question to serious is whether nuclear weaponry is indeed, an effective deterrent against the prospect of another war, or is it simply a charade governments use to parrot the notion that it keeps us secure?

Yeah this is definitely a Bryan Singer movie alright.

Just got back from the cinema. Here are my thoughts:

-Better than the first, and has a much more cohesive plot this time, although I didn't particularly think the first movie was anything to ride home about so I'm not sure if this holds any weight

-Characters were expanded upon that were kind of ignored in the first one

-Lots of alluding to the security/freedom paradigms that will come into play in Civil War which I really enjoyed

-Dialogue is still cheesy, but Whedon learned from Assemble to tone it down. Some of it actually drew a couple chuckles from me admittedly

-Some of the acting and special effects were weak in a few areas, although it doesn't really effect the experience significantly

-The Maximoff twins were written poorly. Don't expect to be blown away by them.

-Ultron isn't memorable either. I mean, he's a serviceable villain, but you can't really empathise with his goals like you can with Loki. He's smart mouthed, but lacking in any sort of gravitas

-To compensate though, Vision is great even if he doesn't get a boatload of screen time

-Becomes a bit of a Michael Bay tier rooty tooty point and shooty fest nearing the end, although it's not as gratuitous, and the action is more versatile than just mindless explosions

Overall, I felt like I got my money's worth, wasn't as fedora tipping as I thought it'd be, and is definitely one of the stronger MCU movies despite not being able to top Iron Man 1 and The Winter Soldier. 7.5/10 from me.

I will divulge in spoilers if people want me to.

Who will you be rooting for in Civil War?

Steve is my nigrah tho.

Alimony has destroyed this man.

>implying it's going to be anything else

Is Batman holding a fucking sniper rifle?

"During our time together, I had learned about their general cynicism and misanthropy and also their irreverent, self deprecating style of humor and their ability to show compassion towards those who shared their 'feels'. What had started as a journey into the deep corners of the web had become a poignant investigation into the lives of wayward young men. With no community to fall back and and plenty of free time to spend online, they had forged an alliance not out of common interests but a common sense of displacement. Although they had been attacked in the media as Nazis, perverts and nihilists, the picture I was presented with was one of loneliness and desperation. I finally realized that the 'internet hate machine' hates nothing more than itself."

Yeah, I know it's kind of beating a dead horse at this point, but I don't think I've ever seen an actual thread dedicated to this discussion on sep7.

In short, I'm against the minimum wage for various reasons that I could examine in deluge. Small businesses bearing the brunt of the damage, high costs of living, job losses etc etc. The main reason that I'm a big detractor of the minimum wage however, is that it takes away employee's bargaining power.

By artificially elevating the minimum wage, the labour market loses its ability to negotiate wages based on their skills and qualifications. For example, the fast food industry is notorious for compensating their workforce poorly, but there's a reason for that.

On average it doesn't take a whole lot of skill to lay meat patties on the grill, but by introducing the minimum wage, businesses are unable to discern between potential employees who have had previous experience in that field (and would be compensated more) than a person who has never worked in the fast food industry in their life. In other words, it would render people who are adept in the fast food industry unable to land a job with a wage correlated at market value, or make it significantly more difficult, based on their skill level.

Indeed, the Nordic countries are always used as the poster child for socialism and how successful socialist policies have become in Europe, but in reality, none of them have adopted a minimum wage system, and have instead, relied on the market to fix wage rates. The Scandinavian countries are in fact, some of the most capitalistic countries on Earth.

ThatGuyT does a great video on minimum wage and he posits his argument much more eloquently than mine.
